Delegates from around the world will arrive on the Island this weekend for training in financial management.

Officials from finance ministries, central banks and regulatory bodies will take part in the Small Countries Financial Management Programme.

In total, 22 people from Caribbean, Pacific, Indian Ocean and Africa regions will take part in the 13th programme - it's the first such event in three years after coronavirus forced its postponement.

Executive director Mark Shimmin says the aim is to make a tangible contribution to development in a range of small countries in different parts of the world.
